LIMA Allen County may be getting its first state-sponsored wetlands in the form of a drainage project for the Boughman watershed.
Allen County Drainage Engineer Joe Gearing said the goal of the project is to eliminate drainage issues for the watershed by creating natural water-retaining areas, in the form of wetlands, that better control rain runoff and cut down on large amounts of standing water often seen in the area.
